I'm having a hard time getting this onto the computer so if you are reading this it means I haven't thrown my landlord's ghetto computer out of the window!!
Last week I went to a massive Roots and Blues festival in a random town - Salmon Arm, about 5 hours drive...we just finished the work on the campground so i managed to scam a day off...there were 6 stages and like 60 artists...during the day you cruise around and listen to heaps of different music and at night the big acts are playing...lots of dancing and good times...Michael Franti and Spearhead were AMAZING they played on Fri night so it wasnt too busy, we were right at the front! On Sat was Xavier Rudd, wow that guy was totally awesome, he can play like 7 different imstruments - he was playing the didg and drums or guitar and singing....(apart from the Aussie accent, ewww. Sorry Aussies, but you learn to strongly dislike Aussies if you live in Canada for long enough!)...and so far that was the last of the 35degree days:(
The girls dancing in the last of the daylight...
The crew... This weekend we climbed the big-ass peak that overlooks Banff- Mt Rundle.
From the top it is the coolest view ever, it drops off a massive cliff, like 1500m all the way to the valley floor, when you are standing (well, lying down actually because you feel like you are going to get sucked into the abyss) you can see EVERYTHING! Pretty cool. Then it started snowing! (yeah snow) The walk up was STEEP! We went with the boys from work, all of us had a pretty big night before so I cant really believe we made it all 1500m up!! The summit is 2900+ meters- so big climb you actually climb from the valley floor!
Did I mention that it was steep? But, what about my hangover??
The view of the Abyss from the top. I was scared for my life taking this photo! You prob can't tell but the green trees are 1000m below us...
Woooooh!!
Well, days are getting shorter, nights are darker...winter is on the way (hell yeah) though i think we'll have a few miserable days at work in the -20's before i get to ski though!!
